Free SMS

[stretch]

Hi

I recently found a company offering a free sms service that I integrated into my Vbulletin board.

www.dogsonacid.com

The company that offers the free service is

www.fonetastic.com , I also found a sign up service for there partners page at http://dogsonacid.fonetastic.net/ once i had signed up. Go there first to sign up for an account.

This is a skinable SMS service so it looks just like part of my site.

It works in the following manner.

1) Go to postbit templates
2) Expand this and edit the template called postbit

There are 2 place that you can put this that looks quite nice. The first is text

1) Find this piece of code

<a href="report.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$post[postid]">Report
this post to a moderator</a>

and put this in front of it

<a href="http://dogsonacid.fonetastic.net/sms/v1/?msg=$post[message]">Sms This Message | </a>


2) This method is a graphic version.

before the code

<a href="editpost.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editpost&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="images/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit/Delete Message"></a>

place this piece of code

<a href="http://dogsonacid.fonetastic.net/sms/v1/?msg=$post[message]"><img src="images/sms.gif" border="0" alt="Sms This Message"></a>

If you do this method you will need to upload it to the imagesfolder a file called sms.gif.


Note the http://dogsonacid.fonetastic.net/ url im posting is the once i got for signing up, you will need to replace this with code of your own.

Thats all you need to do and you can offer FREE SMS to your customers.

Oh I also added it to the header as a button.

Finally they seem like quite an approachable company as i was having problems with the <br /> in the messages and they modified the code there end to deal with it.

So check it out and let me know what you think.
